Catalogue description Short title: Stoudon v Crouche. Plaintiffs: John Stoudon, currier, of London....

Defendants: William Crouche, tanner, and Richard Hoggekins, of Milton, and John Kyng, of Sittingbourne.

Subject: Messuage and land, etc in Milton and Sittingbourne , bought of the said William. Kent

Notes: The “Hoggekins” spellings in the Warwickshire, Sussex, and Kent records appear to represent the Hawkins family rather than a separate surname. The "gg" was most likely a misinterpretation of the secretary hand "w" in Hawkins. The line originated in Shropshire, moved into Kent in early service holdings, and later managed portions of the estate from Warwickshire, where clerks unfamiliar with the name recorded it in distorted forms that were subsequently copied into later deeds. When a later heir resettled near the Kent relatives, the inherited documentary spelling persisted even though the family locally used Hawkins. The records therefore reflect continuity of one landholding line across generations rather than separate families.
